Teaser Tuesday - The Fiery Cross

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

• Grab your current read
• Open to a random page
• Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
• BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
• Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

  My Teaser:
    "But the taxes must be paid in hard currency; not in corn and hides and blocks of indigo, as the farmers did there business.  Barter was the common means of trade - I knew that well enough, I thought, glancing down at the bag of odd things folk had brought me in payment for my herbs and simples.  No one ever paid for anything in money- save the taxes."

~ The Fiery Cross by Diana Gabaldon
